This is the single disc version, not the special edition. Big budget Korean horror film and a snip at one pound if you have a Fopp about.

Synopsis: selling his wares to passers by along Seouls Han River, life is peaceful for a small-time snack bar owner and his dim-witted son. However, the tranquillity of their day-to-day lives is shattered when a mutant creature emerges from the depths of the Han and embarks on a blood-thirsty rampage. While many of the local citizens are scrambling to escape, the father, son and other assorted family members must seek out their newfound nemesis, in order to rescue a relative.

Korean cinema is among my favourites - only French cinema competes really...mainly because they have no boundaries when it comes to adult themes (see: Seul Contre Tous, it makes Irreversible look quite tame!).

I thought this was OK, but as somebody above said, the interest factor dies down, pretty much as soon as the monster escapes really.

Good movie this. Yeh the CGI is great. When you see the monster running by the side of the river attacking people in the daylight looks pretty real.

I watched a Korean film about Table Tennis recently (I know it sounds lame but it was quite good) . The Korean Table Tennis team are the underdogs against the Chinese team and the cinematography of the matches is really good. Does anybody know what this film is called?

There's too many list, and I feel I've only touched the surface...probably some real gems out there :)

Add Memories of Murder, A Dirty Carnival & The Chaser to that list, the latter is supposedly getting the remake treatment this year so watch it before it gets butchered by Hollywood.
One Night in Mongkok is another good Asian crime film.

Liking the Korean film love here, I probably haven't seen enough as I know a bit of Japanese and so tend to go J rather than K when it comes to Asian film. Brotherhood is a good watch though, Oldboy was also good though I didn't think "great". Looking forward to watching Host but haven't had time since I posted the deal ;-)
